Actors: Morris Chestnut, Taraji P. Henson, Maeve Quinlan
PlotDave Johnson, a former baseball player turned small-time contractor, and his wife, Clarice, a successful real estate agent, face marital challenges after 10 years of marriage. Their differing priorities and the struggles of failing communication take a toll on their relationship. Clarice's demanding career and controlling nature hinder her ability to support Dave’s dreams of starting his own business and building a family. Complications arise when a car accident leaves Clarice temporarily disabled, forcing Dave to become her primary caregiver and deepening the rift between them. Amid these struggles, the couple finds themselves questioning their faith and commitment, seeking guidance from their pastor and friends.
Dave begins to develop a bond with Julie Sawyer, the physical therapist helping Clarice recover, and her young son Bryson, who idolizes him as a father figure. This relationship adds further strain to his marriage as it reveals the emotional and spiritual voids in Dave's and Clarice's lives. As they face these various trials, Dave and Clarice are confronted with tough choices that test their love, faith, and the vows they made to each other. Picking up the pieces, they must decide if their union can withstand the pressures or if their paths have irreversibly diverged, while navigating personal growth and rediscovering the foundational strength needed to heal their fractured bond.
